Whitaker vs. Mayweather

[TBear]

It was a good fight, remember Whitaker was only 11-0 at the time which was something considering Mayweather won his second title at junior welter three fights later.

It's a real shame Roger didn't have the discipline that his nephew has.

Roger had the same style and skills Floyd does but Floyd had a chin unlike Roger.

That fight was Pernell's 10th or so and it was at lightweight.

Exactly. He wasnt really strong for a lightweight which Floyd was. Fast forward to 147 it can only go down.

You can't go based off that. Roger had that crackhead strength, ain't nobody pushing around a crackhead unless he lets himself get pushed .

Seriously though, I don't see what you're seeing. Pernell and Roger came to stalemates in clinches. Even if what you're saying is true though, Floyd got bullied around at 135 and at 130 even, so it sabotages your point.

Whitaker went on to muscle bigger and stronger fighters than Roger after this.

Floyd's got his Dad's hand speed and chin, and his uncles skills.
